Projet de création d’une ferme de production des plants et des fruits des plantes exotiques dans la région de mila

Abstract

This research aims to establish a startup in the form of a farm specialized in the production of tropical fruits, which are experiencing growing popularity in modern markets due to their therapeutic properties and unique consumption experience. Three types of highly demanded and therapeuticlly used exotic fruit species were selected: Hylocereuscostaricensis (dragon fruit), Psidium guajava (guava), and Passiflora edulis (passion fruit). Studies were conducted on the germination and growth of these three species under controlled laboratory conditions over a four-month period. Germination was monitored over 94 days. These studies included germination tests and seedling growth tracking, with seeds placed in a germination chamber at a controlled temperature ranging between 24 and 28°C. The results showed that dragon fruit and guava had high germination capacity, while passion fruit suffered from seed and embryo dormancy, responding to temperature variations only when reaching 24°C, with successful germination of only two seeds. Regarding plant growth, measurements showed that passion fruit recorded the fastest growth rate and the highest number of leaves, followed by guava, while dragon fruit exhibited relatively slow growth. The results obtained provide the green light to launch the project: The Exotic Plants Farm.
